Abstract
This doctoral dissertation summary explores how multilingual middle school students make connections with academic language and content through affordances for Language Awareness. Affordances for Language Awareness represent possibilities available to students for accessing relevant information to make meaning of language within a classroom. As an ecologically inspired account, the goals of this study explored how students construct meaning, what resources they draw on, and what external policy measures influence language choices in the classroom.Â
